Comparative transcriptome analysis of AP2/EREBP gene family under normal and hormone treatments, and under two drought stresses in NILs setup by Aday Selection and IR64
The AP2/EREBP genes play various roles in developmental processes and in stress-related responses in plants. Genome-wide microarrays based on the gene expression profiles of the AP2/EREBP family were analyzed under conditions ...
CGIAR Reforms and Research Programs: Implications for Central Asia and the Caucasus
This presentation delivered during the 14th steering committee meeting of the CGIAR Program for Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Fertilizer Best Management Practices: A Perspective from the Dryland West Asia-North Africa Region
Chemical fertilizer use has contributed significantly to increased global food output in the past half century, especially in climatically favourable regions of the world. However, in drier agro-ecological zones, such as ...
Distribution of Vernalization and Photoperiod Genes (Vrn-A1, Vrn-B1, Vrn-D1, Vrn-B3, Ppd-D1) in Turkish Bread Wheat Cultivars and Landraces
Vernalization and photoperiod response genes play a significant role in the geographical adaptation, agronomic performance and yield potential of crops. Therefore, understanding the distribution pattern and allelic diversity ...
Effect of soil management and traffic on soil erosion in irrigated annual crops
Conservation agriculture with controlled traffic has been suggested as one way to improve water infiltration and reduce soil losses in irrigated annual crops in Mediterranean environments, but little research is available. ...
Community Action in Integrated and Market Oriented Feed-Livestock Production in Central and South Asia Project: Value added local processing of goat fibers by women and assessing the characteristics of naturally colored mohair and the potentials for its marketing”
Tajikistan is the poorest of the Central Asian republics, with income per capita just $330.
Tajik families and especially women are in need of development assistance to improve
living standards. The ICARDA project “Community ...
Best Practices for Managing Awassi Sheep 10-Body Condition Scoring
This booklet is part of a ten-part series of technical guidelines describing best practices for managing Awassi sheep – the dominant sheep breed in several countries across the Middle East. The series is targeted at sheep ...
Effect of shallow tillage, moldboard plowing, straw management and compost addition on soil organic matter and nitrogen in a dryland barley/wheat-vetch rotation
Sustainability of dryland cropping is a major issue in the typical Mediterranean climatic environment of West Asia and North Africa. Management of crop residues and soil organic matter (SOM) and its interrelationship with ...
Comparative analysis of root transcriptome profiles of two pairs of drought-tolerant and susceptible rice near-isogenic lines under different drought stress
Background: Plant roots are important organs to uptake soil water and nutrients, perceiving and transducing of soil water deficit signals to shoot. The current knowledge of drought stress transcriptomes in rice are mostly ...
